FIRMWARES ARE BETA VERSIONS. YOU MIGHT KILL YOUR PLAYER USING THEM! USE ONLY IF YOU KNOW HOW TO RELIVE YOUR PLAYER AGAIN!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

When updating the player and it is finished, the display and TV-screen will go black and it actually looks like it died! This is normal DO NOT TOUCH THE PLAYER untill you see the Pioneer logo and the disc tray have closed! On some players it says CLEAR when the disc tray is closing!

Problem that can occure when updating is:
When update is finnished, the TV-screens goes black as it should but player does still say LOADING, it does not restart it self!
If you are ABSOLUTLEY sure the update is done, wait 10 minutes to be sure.
Close the tray by hand, then pull the power cord and then put it back! When you start the player again should read CLEAR and start normal!

RESET your player after upgrade!!!!

Do not touch the player while it is upgrading
